Nigerian stocks fall to lowest level in more than four months
Nigeria’s main stock index fell to its lowest level in more than four months on Friday after shares in banking and consumer goods companies declined.
The index which fell for the seventh straight session, recovered some ground but closed down 1 percent. Stocks had fallen 1.28 percent in late trades, sliding to 39,213 points, a level not seen since January, Reuters reports.
Offshore investors have been exiting local assets as yields on Nigeria’s treasuries have fallen to around 12 percent from as high as 18 percent a year ago due to government action to lower borrowing costs and U.S. interest rate rises.
Traders expect the bear market to continue, even as the capital flight has also put the local naira currency under pressure.
Stocks fell widely on Friday with 41 companies declining and 12 firms advancing. Julius Berger and Transcorp each shed 5 percent while Fidelity Bank fell 7.7 percent.
Cost of maintenance, aviation fuel to surge on ageing aircrafts
Predominance of ageing aircraft by domestic airlines operating in Nigeria has led to high cost of aircraft maintenance and aviation fuel (JET A1) consumption.
Experts in the aviation sector say aside the absence of aircraft maintenance facility in the country and high exchange rate, ageing aircraft is a contributory factor to high cost of aircraft maintenance.
Currently, Medview is facing difficulties in carrying out its scheduled operations over insufficient aircraft. Most of its aircraft are out of the country on maintenance, while First Nation’s operation has been suspended as a result of insufficient aircraft.

Union Bank Plc, has expressed concern about the spate of unemployment among women. Speaking at an IWD seminar organized by a women empowerment NGO recently, the Executive Director, Chief Financial Officer, Union Bank, Oyinkan Adewale, said: “Women make up the majority of the unemployed in Nigeria. In the third quarter of 2017, female unemployment recorded 43% in comparison to 37.0% for male.
“These statistics are sobering: for women in Nigeria, although underemployment improved from 24.2% to 21.8%, unemployment worsened rather sharply from 16.3% to 21.2% in 9 months (from the fourth quarter of 2016 to the third quarter of 2017). To give some context to these figures, for women in the UK, unemployment rate was 4.2% and in the US, 4.1% in the third quarter of 2017. The Nigerian statistics are plainly far worse.”
